Musketeer Madness

ESPN.com came out with a list of the top players chosen (since 1985 - first year of lottery) for each pick # in the draft. Take a look at pick #18...

Good stuff.

Shaq looks so much younger-and smaller-in that photo.

Notice that list only has two second-round picks in the last 5 years averaging double-digits. It's nice to get drafted at all, but scouts and agents generally prefer to go the free agent route (so they can pick their situations) rather than get drafted in the 2nd round, be locked into one team, and likely get cut anyway.

T. Hill was on that list at #11 too!

Don't forget Brian Grant at number 8
